About

The Setting

Found within the Cranborne Chase AONB on the Wiltshire/Dorset border, Larmer Tree boasts a rich history as a Victorian Pleasure Garden since 1880. The venue offers 11 acres of historic gardens and buildings, providing a quintessentially English country wedding experience.

Located just 20 minutes from Salisbury, Shaftesbury, and Blandford Forum, with convenient train stations nearby in Gillingham and Salisbury, Larmer Tree creates a stunning and accessible setting.

The Vibe

Larmer Tree is the canvas for relaxed and exclusive country weddings. Whether choosing an outdoor ceremony in front of historic buildings or an indoor celebration in the cosy Jubilee Hall, the venue accommodates diverse wedding styles. Guests can enjoy drinks and canapés on the lawn before dining in the Pavilion dining room and dancing the night away in the vibrant Jubilee Hall.

Larmer Tree’s picturesque landscape features quirky Victorian buildings alongside a manicured lawn, offering the perfect blend of outdoor garden charm and indoor comfort for weddings. The Jubilee Hall, with its fairy light ceiling, adds an atmospheric touch for indoor ceremonies. The Pavilion dining room provides a bright and airy space for meals, and the Jubilee Hall transforms into a lively venue for evening receptions, complete with a dance area, adjoining bar, snug, terrace with firepit, and festoon lights. The resident peacocks and Macaws add a touch of entertainment, while the famous Singing Theatre provides a unique backdrop for live music and photography.

The in-house caterers, Forkingout, craft exceptional wedding menus, offering flexibility from plated formal dining to sharing platters or barbecues. Utilising quality locally sourced ingredients, the experienced chefs deliver delicious dishes from a friendly and professional team.

Larmer Tree’s team of wedding coordinators provides expert guidance throughout the planning process, offering help and support at every step. The goal is to ensure a seamless and smooth wedding day experience. With weddings hosted all year round, Larmer Tree embraces the beauty of its gardens in photography sessions. In cooler months, the Jubilee Hall and Pavilion serve as versatile spaces for ceremonies, receptions, and celebrations.

Testimonials

We were lucky enough to have our wedding here, in the glorious sunshine, surrounded by wildlife and our loved ones. But what really made the experience so magical was the attentiveness, care, and pride with which the Larmer Tree and all of their staff conducted themselves and their business. Nothing was too much trouble from the very first planning meeting until the last person left the dance floor. The food blew our guests away, and the venue was mesmerising in the summer sun. It is cliche to say, but it really was the best day of our lives, and that was made possible by all of you.

Mr & Mrs Wiseman-Searle

The Peacocks

We had such a fantastic experience at Larmer Tree with Amy and the rest of the team there. The venue itself is incredible. It is such a beautiful setting with so many options for how you would like to have a wedding; we chose the lower Indian room for our ceremony, which was perfect! Amy was a constant support throughout our wedding experience; she made the event run smoothly and took so much stress out of the day. On the day, she was incredible, quietly working hard to ensure we had the best day, and we could not have done it without her! We couldn’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else, and Amy helped us create our perfect wedding day.

Joe & Becca

We had our wedding here in July 2022, and it was the perfect day! We couldn’t be happier with how it all went, and a big part of that is down to how helpful and well-organised Amy and the team were (both on the day itself and with all of the planning in advance!). We really didn’t have to worry about anything on the day and were left to enjoy ourselves. The food provided by Forkingout was also brilliant, and everything was in line with what we had agreed upon at our tasting.

Larmer Tree is a very special and unique venue, and we would very much recommend it for a wedding and a place for our day out. The gardens are extensive and varied, so there are plenty of places for great photos and guests to explore. All our guests loved the venue and had only positive things to say about the whole day.

Julia & Neil

We had our wedding at Larmer in April, which was coordinated by Amy. The venue is absolutely stunning, and it fitted everything we wanted and more. We had the absolute best day possible, and that is all thanks to Amy and the rest of the team at Larmer Tree and Forkingout. The organisation was seamless from the beginning (including helping postpone our wedding) to the day. Amy was incredibly responsive to all our questions leading up to the wedding and constantly put us at ease. Everything ran smoothly on the day, thanks to Amy’s super organisation, which ensured everything went as planned. Everyone commented on how well the day went, and we couldn’t agree more! It couldn’t have gone any better; we had the best day! We can’t wait to visit Larmer Tree for many anniversaries to come.

Hannah & Jacob

What an amazing wedding venue this is. We were so lucky to have been married in the spectacular gardens! From our first contact with the Larmer Tree to our wedding planning meetings with Katy and our food tastings with Forkingout, we could not fault a thing. Everyone worked hard to make our day special; nothing was out of place, and little detail was missed. The day went so smoothly, and we are grateful for the team who made our day incredible! We will certainly be back!

Natalie & Chris

Well, what can I say other than the biggest most enormous thank you for helping us to have the most perfect wedding day. We couldn’t have wished for a better day. We can’t thank you enough for all your help and support in the lead up and Katy your help on the day was amazing, You were such a great calming influence when I was really nervous beforehand, you made sure everything ran seamlessly throughout and we are really grateful for this.

The Seniors

From the minute we first visited the Larmer Tree, we knew it was a special venue. Katie and Francesca were so great at our first visit, and we just knew it was the place for us. The gardens are breathtaking; we used the Roman temple for our ceremony and the lower Indian room for our speeches. Francesca was absolutely incredible from day one; she was so supportive and honestly made us feel like we were the only couple she worked with. The day was absolutely seamless; I didn’t have to worry about one thing, everything was so organised, it was perfect in every way, and I can never thank her enough for being the most incredible wedding coordinator. This venue is extraordinary, and I am so happy we had our wedding here.
